After experiencing a lack of clean running water here in Southwest Florida after Hurricane Irma, residents in our area have had just a small taste of what people in Haiti have been dealing with for decades.
The small amount of running water that exists is anything but clean. Most recently, that's led cholera outbreaks in which thousands have died.
But, the organization called “Clean Water for Haiti” with Chris Rolling at the helm is working to change that. They’ve installed thousands of household water filters to date and are now planning to partner with an FGCU professor to conduct a study of the impacts this has had on the health of Haitians.
